What’s in an Anniversary? UACES and European Studies at 50

Abstract:
In 2017 UACES celebrated its 50th anniversary. As part of the commemorative activities UACES commissioned a number of recorded conversations with key actors in UACES’s history as well as those who continue to play a role in its present. In this special section of JCER, the recordings are featured alongside a full transcript.
